The Suquamish Foundation is a Tribally-chartered, non-profit organization created in late 2005 to benefit the Suquamish Tribe, its members and its neighbors.The Foundation, in partnership with the Suquamish Tribe, prioritizes its fundraising efforts to fund a series of projects that will bring Suquamish cultural values and traditions to the forefront of community life. We envision a sustained cultural resurgence that benefits Tribal members, our neighbors and the many others who visit our homeland. Guided by our ancestors and the wisdom of our elders, and informed by our youth and adults, the Suquamish Foundation works with the Suquamish Tribe to design and fund projects that provide cultural, educational, and recreational resources for our community, our neighbors and our guests.
